That's if they really need it. I'd prefer to provide a homeless person with food rather than money. You don't know what they're going to spend it on. And quite often, people prefer to beg rather than get a job, even when they can get a job.
Not always. In SA we have people who are homeless but still find a way to make money, even if it means cleaning people's yards or other somewhat menial tasks.
There are some homeless people who are trying to get a bus ticket to where their family lives so that they no longer have to beg, or they might need food for the future, but I agree that it is a risk you take when you give people money.

Whether they really need it or not, though, taunting people like that makes you a shitty person. You can make arguments that they might not really need the money, but if that's the case... just leave. He's not holding you hostage telling you to give him the money.
It's rude as fuck and makes you a shitty person.
